Well done! Were these photographed as they were found? The T.beetzi is really cool, but so are the rest!

It looks like Pedioplanis inornata. We got pretty much the same things at Augrabies. Did you find Cordylosaurus subtesselatus? We saw one last year but they seem to have inherited the plated lizzards' ability to escape...

When I was young I kept every thing Icould gat my hands on(From puffies to Girled lizards). As I grew 'older' I learnt that things are much more beautifull as they is in nature. I only started with the photos December after buying a Canon 350D.
So I still have much to learn from the photgraphy part.

Cool -

Try avoid photographing things on roads - the tar is not very natural..

Photograph things on their habitat,

Rock living lizards on rocks, sand living geckos on sand..

Try and photograph them so that you can see the sides and the top nicely in one photograph.

For 5 months of photography you are doing exceptionally well! What is the last frog in the photograph?

Do you have any other photos showing the back pattern? And from where is it? It's a toad (Bufo spp) of some sorts...
